- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

You know that Linux has protection against
rm -rf /since a few years ?Guess it's a sign that Linus got milder on the way, growing old :-) And the terrible BOFH joke of this grew old and boring as well. Gotta take care about new Linux users.
what? Will it warn me for removing the french language pack? That's what I call bloat!!
😄
Actually that's RMS getting older. Afaik only GNU rm protects the root.
🙂 👍
That wasn't the command I wrote though
rmis part of GNU or busybox though.They said ~/
I don't think there's any protection for the current user's home directory
What do you mean that's not the name of your cat and I shouldn't type it in my terminal?
Only at work when logged in to the admin account.
